RDS features are only available for use on FM stations
which broadcast RDS information. The RDS features of
your radio rely upon receiving specific RDS information
from these stations. These features will only work when
the RDS information is available. In rare cases, a radio
station may broadcast incorrect information that will
cause the radio features to work improperly. If this
happens, please contact the radio station.
When you are tuned to an RDS station, the station name
will appear on the display, instead of the frequency. Most
RDS stations provide their station name, the time of day
and a Program Type (PTY) for their current programming.

When a traffic announcement comes on the tuned radio
station, you will hear it, even if the volume is muted or a
cassette tape or compact disc is playing. The TRAF icon
and TRAFFIC will appear on the display while the
traffic announcement plays. If the cassette tape or

disc will stay in the player and resume play at the point
